As someone who grew up as an extremely picky eater, eating almost exclusively chicken fingers for years when I went out, I consider myself an expert on the subject. Thankfully I have gotten a tad more adventurous on a menu as I’ve gotten older. But every now and then chicken fingers and fries just hit the spot. Especially on a road trip, nothing satisfies like Zaxby’s chicken fingers and those seasoned fries. And no matter how much hate chain restaurants get- Chili’s chicken fingers are always good. But we aren’t talking about fast food or chain restaurants in this case. We are talking about local chicken tenders that are so good you should absolutely order them on the menu.

You won’t either. I’ve convinced numerous other people to order them as well. And they all rave about them. So if you’re looking for a place to take your picky friend or your child or you just have a craving for delicious chicken tenders hit up the Rusty Bucket.
